Stephen McNeff

I’m now in that odd limbo for a composer between having finished a major work and its first performance. I sent the full score of the Concerto to my publishers in the middle of July, having delivered the final section to Owen and Olly on the 2 July (on time!). I did various proof corrections by email from Canada where I was resident at the Banff Centre in August, but that’s now all complete, the conductor has the full score and the BBC Symphony Orchestra has the parts. I now wait until the first rehearsal on 19th October and hope that everyone else is quietly getting on with it. No one has screamed yet!
